Lavender Field Day Trip

We were very lucky with the weather and had a lovely day out at the Lavender Fields near Sutton. After meeting at the station and taking a bus, we walked through the countryside to a local pub and enjoyed Sunday lunch. The trip to the lavender fields was pleasant, and we enjoyed a glass or two of wine amidst the plants before returning via bus, tram and train to Victoria station. In all, 23 members attended.
